The very first day of the workshop covered critical problems related to gender equality, human rights, and public health within the Marshall Islands.

The value of integrating gender equality and social addition into all job aspects was likewise talked about.

ACWA is made possible thanks to the assistance of the Green Climate

Fund, with the task co-financed by the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands

. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Examines the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Offers inputs to two wider examinations- the regional assessment of ADB assistance for the Pacific and the special assessment study on Millennium Development Goals. The low instructional attainment and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were largely due to the poor quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the outer islands, and weaknesses in abilities training and the professional and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained private sector growth and federal government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high amongst the youth and women in the outer islands. Suitable regional knowledgeable personnel for existing task vacancies

were not available, hence the importation of properly knowledgeable foreign employees. Therefore, there was an inequality between readily available jobs and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions offered the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to prioritize technical and trade education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve abilities training to provide trained workers needed for continual economic and social development. This was to be achieved through an integrated national abilities training system. The project included four elements: development of a profession awareness program, abilities training improvement, enhanced skills training chances for women and youth, and institutional conditioning. The anticipated result was increased income-generating chances and work for students, specifically women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the task was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal development was accomplished in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The long-standing weakness of poor numeracy and literacy competencies

amongst public elementary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or going to voc-tech education could be partially credited to the poor quality of standard education. The job was supply-driven and could not establish a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and occupation education training system has actually remained essentially the same after project conclusion. The research study advanced that ADB might motivate the Government of the Marshall Islands, through consultation and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's

commitment to developing a dedicated labour details system to link technical and occupation education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the job established a labour market details system, in the lack of internal personnel capability at the National Training Council, it was not completely operational.
